@DrAllyLouks I am a neuroscientist and a science communication teacher. I guess this appeared on my feed because I identify as a feminist. For what it’s worth, I found the first page of your thesis remarkably clear and fascinating. Cheering you on from afar!

@jdpereira 100% agree! Let’s start with this issue and then we can tackle the, perhaps more subtle, ways we can support diversity in STEM.

@whatishealth21 Congrats Marla! Such a well-deserved honor for someone who has not only been doing great science for years but also a huge supporter of our community. You have been a role model and mentor for me and countless others.

@jones_g_parker Congrats. That’s wonderful news!

[Schwartz Lab @SchwartzLabNU]

Somehow I posted last year's finalists. This is the correct link: https://t.co/0artEwf7ON
And amazingly, Cindy is only a JUNIOR this year.

It has been such a pleasure working with her, and I just hope she remembers me someday when she is a famous scientist.

but instead present 💡ideas💡​ about how neurons might process information.

For me, this focus underscores that what we need in #neuroscience are not larger neural networks or larger-scale recordings, but new ideas and ways of thinking about the brain.

A substantial part of my PhD work with @teulerlab at @uni_tue , with @CellTypist @MatthiasBethge @alxecker @kfrankelab @SchwartzLabNU, is now out as a preprint! We found "A chromatic feature detector in the retina that signals visual context changes"

@dr_bjcarr Beautiful! Someone should get those nicely framed for you for a gift - like those metal floating frames.
